Sketch Day: Brown Estate

 
This weekend, Zach and I visited the lovely Brown Estate winery in Napa Valley. The President and Director of Operations were happy to let me sketch, and let us wonder the grounds of their incredible property. If you get the chance, you must go visit this beautiful winery, hidden in the hills outside Rutherford.

Animation: Clever Girl

Here is my final project for Traditional Animation 1. The assignment was to create a 15-20 second animation with consideration to the 12 Principals of Animation. I always have "dinosaurs on the brain" and have been playing Britney Spears on repeat for the last six months. The story just evolved from there.


Nearly 600 drawings later, I'm finally DONE!


Rough story sketches.

New San Francisco Apartment!

I'm finally just about all moved in and set up in our new apartment! As Margaux described the view outside my window, "It looks like the Full House backlot!" It's often foggy in Inner Richmond, but I find it kind of magical.

 
 Still have to hang curtains...

 
 My picture wall, nearly complete!

"What Maisie Knew" painting

I was commissioned to do a painting of Julianne Moore for the film, "What Maisie Knew". The Production Designer liked my "Photo Booth" paintings, and had me illustrate Julianne Moore as a washed-out rock star. It was so much fun!
